Sorry if there's one already, couldn't find if there is...

Here's mine:

Mid-morning: 1/3 of a chocolate Santa. Several bites of DH's smoked salmon and scrambled egg bagel.

4pm: Turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

7pm: Christmas pudding and custard

Without other people, either as guests or hosting others, we've not done huge breakfasts/portions, starters, cracked open the snacks/QualityStreet, or bothered with any kind of turkey sandwich supper etc. - though we've plenty in, just haven't really felt the need to get it out. Lost my appetite quite a bit in lockdown so far (sadly no weight with it though!)

On the other hand, I've had about 4 sizeable glasses of wine over the afternoon/ evening, so there's that Smile

Please share your own as well!

(To clarify: half a slice of cheesy toast, not half a slice of cheese on a piece of toast Xmas Grin)

All of the food....

10am Thin bagel with butter and a cuppa

4pm Roast turkey, roast potatoes, carrot & turnip, broccoli, parsnips, yorkshire puds, gravy and too many pigs in blankets. Two glasses of champagne.

6pm Big bowl of DMs raspberry trifle with cream and a cuppa

Throughout the day, diet coke, more tea, a whole bag of M&S mini shortbread trees, some pringles while I was cooking, a few segments of chocolate orange..... and I picked at the bacon on top of the turkey.

No room left at all Grin Merry Christmas

I didn't eat until 1- homemade pizza
Followed by 2 peaks of enormous white toblerone, and several small bars of Ritter sport
Supper- lamb tajine, followed by two satsumas, a packet of pickled onion monster munch, and a handful of salt and pepper crisps. I'm contemplating having some blackcurrant yoghurt after I've drunk this tea...
Nothing this year is traditional, so I'm having what I felt like cooking, and what needed using up.
DD tantrummed at supper about not having had Christmas pudding today, when you have to have Christmas pudding today.

she's 15, FML, but had been awake until 1:30 last night, and woke at 7:30

NowellSingWe · 25/12/2020 22:26

The whole world, all of it! I can't move!

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 25/12/2020 22:29

Not much actually!

Æbleskiver (Danish pancake/doughnut spheres) with icing sugar and lingonberry jam.

No lunch.

Christmas dinner: Turkey, roast potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts with chestnuts, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire puddings (first time I’ve had them with a Christmas dinner & I highly approve of it as an addition), gravy, homemade cranberry sauce.

Two glasses of Prosecco with dinner.

Small sliver of Christmas cake with brandy cream.

One gingerbread biscuit, one Anzac biscuit.

We were going to host and I had big plans for the meal but my DH wasn’t well enough to face having everyone over (recently been in hospital) so it ended up being held at IL’s instead and BIL and his gf cooked. It was lovely!

We might have a festive drink later. At home now so that DH can relax and take his meds on time.

MushMonster · 25/12/2020 22:29

Too much Grin
One crumpet with cheese, vegan ham, and a fried egg with white coffee for nreakfast
One cocktail sausage. Two prawn parcels and two or three small pastry slices with tomatoe, ham and cheese. Toasted nuts with maple syrup that we did not use to decorate the cake, and 5 pigs in blankets. All while waiting for the late dinner.
Dinner: peas, roastie, roasted carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, and soya mince and nuts wellington all bathed in gravy. I did not manage to finish it all though.
